The dick haze leaves women swooning over subpar, below-average men – myself included. For me, the dick haze compromises of uncharacteristically romanticised daydreams that surround the sexual partner from the-night-before with an inexplicable glow (even if they did kick me out of their accommodation following their abrupt post-nut clarity).

I don't know about the other guys on here but for me it's not whiskey dick unless my cock is flaccid and cannot be stimulated, not even a bit, at all. The blood basically gets too thin to work an erection and you can't get it up, at least not all the way, and ejaculation is out of the question.

I hadn't realized WordNet was such a prude; its definition is certainly not the most common usage.

bilby commented on the word dick
"I swear I could not for a second view these people as anything but human. The best way to fashion a young hard dick like myself -- dick being an acronym for 'dedicated infantry combat killer' -- is simple and the effect of racist indoctrination. Take an empty shell off the streets of L.A. or Brooklyn, or maybe from some Podunk town in Tennessee… and these days America isn't in short supply… I was one of those no-child-left-behind products…
Anyway, you take this empty vessel and you scare the living shit out of him, break him down to nothing, cultivate a brotherhood and camaraderie with those he suffers with, and fill his head with racist nonsense like all Arabs, Iraqis, Afghans are Hajj. Hajj hates you. Hajj wants to hurt your family. Hajj children are the worst because they beg all the time. Just some of the most hurtful and ridiculous propaganda, but you'd be amazed at how effective it's been in fostering my generation of soldiers."
